Eminescu Quadrangle
The Eminescu quadrangle (H-9) is one of fifteen quadrangles on Mercury. It runs from 216 to 288° longitude and from -25 to 25° latitude. Named after the Eminescu crater, it was mapped in detail for the first time after ''MESSENGER'' entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. It had not been mapped prior to that point because it was one of the six quadrangles that was not illuminated when ''Mariner 10'' made its flybys in 1974 and 1975. These six quadrangles continued to be known by their albedo feature names, with this one known as the Solitudo Criophori quadrangle. An unnamed, highly modified impact basin is thought to exist to the southwest of the Caloris basin (at 6.5° N, 134.8° E). The basin is referred to as ''b40'' in scientific literature and it is primarily recognized on the basis of a ring-shaped set of wrinkle ridges with a diameter of 310 kilometers. The western rim of this basin is named Arquipelago Rupes. Derain quadrangle is to the west of Eminescu quadrangle, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hokusai Quadrangle
The Hokusai quadrangle (H-5) is one of fifteen quadrangles on the planet Mercury. It runs from 360 to 270° longitude and 20 to 70° latitude. Named after the Hokusai crater, it was mapped in detail for the first time after ''MESSENGER'' entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. It had not been mapped prior to that point because it was one of the six quadrangles that was not illuminated when ''Mariner 10'' made its flybys in 1974 and 1975. These six quadrangles continued to be known by their albedo feature names, with this one known as the Apollonia quadrangle. Prominent features within Hokusai quadrangle, other than Hokusai itself, include the large peak ring crater Rachmaninoff and the somewhat smaller crater Rustaveli. Two faculae, or bright areas, are north of Rachmaninoff. One is the prominent Nathair Facula and the other is the subdued Neidr Facula. These are thought to be volcanic vents.

Manley is a crater on Mercury. Its name was adopted by the International Astronomical Union (IAU) in 2023, for the Jamaican sculptor, painter, and printmaker Edna Manley, who lived from 1900 to 1987. A name for this crater was allocated at the request of the BepiColombo MCAM team, who realized that it would be prominent in images from BepiColombo's 3rd fly-by of Mercury, but had not yet been named. Manley is one of 110 peak ring basins on Mercury.Chapman, C. R., Baker, D. M. H., Barnouin, O. S., Fassett, C. I., Marchie, S., Merline, W. J., Ostrach, L. R., Prockter, L. M., and Strom, R.

Neruda Quadrangle
The Neruda quadrangle (H-13) is one of fifteen quadrangles on Mercury. It runs from 180 to 270° longitude and -20 to -70° latitude. Named after the Neruda crater, it was mapped in detail for the first time after ''MESSENGER'' entered orbit around Mercury in 2011. It had not been mapped prior to that point because it was one of the six quadrangles that was not illuminated (with the exception of a narrow strip along the eastern border with the Michelangelo quadrangle) when ''Mariner 10'' made its flybys in 1974 and 1975. These six quadrangles continued to be known by their albedo feature names, with this one known as the Solitudo Persephones quadrangle. In addition to Neruda crater, the eastern half of the Rembrandt basin is within the quadrangle. Rembrandt is the second-largest impact basin on Mercury, after Caloris. The western half of Rembrandt is in the Debussy quadrangle. The Bach quadrangle is south of Neruda quadrangle. To the west is Debussy quadrangle, and to ...

Tolstoj Quadrangle
The Tolstoj quadrangle in the equatorial region of Mercury runs from 144 to 216° longitude and -25 to 25° latitude. It was provisionally called "Tir", but renamed after Leo Tolstoy by the International Astronomical Union in 1976. Also called Phaethontias. It contains the southern part of Caloris Planitia, which is the largest and best preserved basin seen by ''Mariner 10''. This basin, about 1550 km in diameter, is surrounded by a discontinuous annulus of ejecta deposits of the Caloris Group that are embayed and covered by broad expanses of smooth plains. The southeast half of the quadrangle is dominated by ancient crater deposits, by nondescript rolling to hummocky plains materials between individual craters, and by isolated patches of nondescript plains. The ancient and degraded Tolstoj multiring basin, about 350 km in diameter, is in the south-central part of the quadrangle.
